  Beech - prune. Pruning may include the removal of 'soft growth' on the outer /lower parts of the tree crown to reduce the overall size and spread of the tree e.g. shortening or removal of secondary branches under 100/50mm diameter, not main structural branches over this size. Where appropriate this may include additional/selective branch reductions and reshaping within the specified 2m to reduce excessive leverage. (amended description)
